Nanette D. Barragán, a U.S. Congresswoman representing California's 44th district, shared her perspectives on recent political developments via Twitter on January 21, 2025. Barragán, who has been serving in Congress since replacing Janice Hahn in 2017, is known for her advocacy on behalf of immigrant communities and her critical stance on certain policies.
In a tweet posted at 00:06:48 UTC, Barragán expressed concern over President Trump's renewed approach towards immigration. She stated, "President Trump starts where he left off - with an attack on immigrants and a promise of mass deportations. Our immigrant families and communities need to be prepared. You have rights. Learn them now."
A minute later, she reiterated this message in Spanish through another tweet at 00:06:49 UTC. The post read: "El Presidente Trump comienza donde lo dejó— con un ataque a los inmigrantes y la promesa de deportaciones masivas. Nuestras familias y comunidades inmigrantes deben estar preparadas. Tienes derechos. Conócelos ahora."
Later that day, at 01:33:05 UTC, Barragán commented on the pardoning of convicted criminals who assaulted police officers by a convicted felon, pointing out the silence or support from Republicans in Congress. She questioned the party's commitment to law and order by asking, "Tell me again how this is the party of law & order?"
